Cats eye is very cloudy after tooth extraction

Question
What could be the reason for my cats eye all of a sudden turning cloudy 3 days after a tooth extraction.  He had swelling proir and has been on Clavamox antibiotic.  Pupil is almost gone and very cloudy.  Is this a result or side effect from the surgery.  What can I do?

Answer

Have your cat examining by the same doctor that performed the extraction.  Tooth abscesses can affect the orbit of the eye; symptoms of infection usually resolve after the offending tooth has been extracted.  Your vet should have a record of whether there was damage to the eye before the extraction or if it occurred after the extraction.
